There was a FB post of Carrot Bay under water. So sad Mal. I hope CRC was spared.
Rita It is better to be happy than it is to be right

No word yet that I am aware of and I'm really worried. There are many folks across the island who are not responding and I pray it's because they have no means of communication right now.

There's nothing left of Bomba's... there's nothing left of the road behind Bomba's, save a little bit of debris. The entire area is washed out.

Has anyone heard anything about West End/Soper's? I haven't seen any posts or photos. Just sickened about the damage to such a special place and hoping that the wonderful people of the BVI are safe. Sending prayers for strength during what will surely be a long and difficult recovery.

I just saw a post where they said Soper's Hole was destroyed. Yacht on top of a building and Pusser's is gone. Jost Van Dyke is supposedly completely wiped out and they are trying to save people by boats. I don't know if any of this is true but I imagine it is.

Where are you reading about Jost, I'm concerned about folks in Little Harbour, thanks

I'm betting that Fortress CRC will be found in good shape. I remember when you added the second floor. It certainly looked like it could take a hard hit.

Manpot said: Bumping this up..we have heard nothing from Little Apple.Would love to hear our neighbours and friends are OK and the status of our home. We are so lucky to have great friends ready to come down and help us and everyone else but need to know if CRC is close to habitable in an inside camping sort of way!! I know the feeling Malcom..have had 3 friends volunteer to help fix condo at Olde Yard on Virgin Gorda but don't have a clue what's needed but most of all don't know about the great crew there at olde yard and at cafe and Debbie, who runs the beauty shop who looks after our place and acts as concierge for our friends and trouble shooter for the Subaru. Found out our friends Simon and Heather wood on Tortola made it through..still waiting for word on Rudy Woodly on VG.

From what I have heard...trying to reach news about Long Bay. People there are "isolated" and can't be reached because there is a good portion of a house on the road in Apple bay. Also the road to Zion Hill is full of trees and noone is able to pass. We have heard that the people on Long Bay so far are okay.
life is not a dress rehearsal!!!! jacki
